Description of the problem	I already filed a complaint about this problem last month with nhtsa. This week i found out i can turn the ignition key off while the car is driving.... Wow! I discovered that because i wanted to re-inact what the car does while i'm driving it so the jeep mechanics can figure out what's wrong with this car. I can be driving down the road at different speeds & all of a sudden all the dash warning lights come on, i lose acceleration, like the car is shutting down. I panic and pump the gas peddle(no acceleration) and try to turn the ignition key on, that makes the lights on dash go off, & i resume speed like nothing happened. This car has done this since it was new, dealership guys would tell me "take any extra keys off your key ring" when i only had a couple of keys on it. Today, when i took it into the dealership, the first thing the mechanic said was "take extra keys off", i only have 2 other keys on the ring. I put a dealership service tech in the car with me in the parking lot & told him to move the ignition key while driving, he said "you shouldn't be able to do that". He went in the back to talk to one of the mechanics and he said the same thing, you shouldn't be able to turn the key in drive. Now i have an appt. On thursday 3/20/14 to leave the car there for inspection. I am afraid to drive this car now. It always happened about 4 times a year since it was new, but lately it has happened about 4 times in the last 2 weeks. With the deaths on the news right now with gm, frankly i don't want to be a statistic! The dealership says intermittent problems are very hard to detect, says it would be good to get the car when it strands me, then they will know what's wrong. It would be my luck the next time it happens, i will be going 60 mph on e-way & a semi truck runs me over when i lose power. Please take this complaint seriously.

What is Recall?
A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.
